I would be interested in knowing what the motivations and philosophies of this couple are. If it's just money and a free in-vtro fertilization cycle then settlement is likely in the offing. If, on the other hand, they are committed Pro-Life people then this case will undoubtedly go forward to some final determination on the Humanity of the blastocyst.

I hope the latter but I suspect the former.

It is satisfying to know that there a some judges who will stand up for life..

I'm wondering if it was just 1 embryo they made,

if they were commited pro life- then they probably wouldn't be for that in vitro fertilization,

How can you even surmise such a thing for a second about folks who would patronize a fertility clinic ... as if "God's will" were something to be overcome by technology.

It's enough that the judge allowed the lawsuit, by upholding the humanity of the child. This is not going to be a case of loss of property or body part of the mother. This is a huge jump in verification of the status of a human, who happened to be an embryo.

Not sure how relevant this point is: If they settle before the appeal then doesn't the case end as the embryo is a human? Then there can be no overturning by the leftist appeals judges. It becomes case law. Other jurisdictions can then use this as settled precedent for similar rulings. Maybe then abortion will end not with an all out bang but with a whimper. The left loves to thwart the will of the people through the power of the courts. Maybe this is sweet irony when the rights of the unborn and the majority of Americans are actually supported by the courts.
I pray that this horror finally ends.
